How Do Computers Think?

💡 Simple Explanation

Computers don't really think like you do - they're more like really fast followers of instructions! Inside a computer are billions of tiny switches that can be on or off, like light switches. By flipping these switches super fast (billions of times per second!), computers can do math and follow rules. When you add 2+2, you think about it. A computer just follows steps someone programmed: 'If this switch is on and that switch is on, turn this other switch on.' Simple steps done super fast look like thinking!
